gollark: > I know I can significantly increase my privacy but I'm just kind of floating where I can I will increase my privacy and when where I can I will increase my privacy and where I can't I just ignore itWell, you're doing a bad job of caring about privacy given that you bought a Google Home instead of... not doing that?
